Objective: 

Students will continue preparing for proficiency in cyber security with an introduction to the basics of packet analysis in the Wireshark application.

• Wireshark
• Wireshark Training Videos
• Intro and About the Wireshark Environment with Hansang Bee (YouTube Video)

Topics Discussed:

1. Today we are going to start working with Wireshark – a powerful packet collection and analysis tool that is free to download and pre-installed in the Kali Linux distribution.
2. Watch Hansang Bee’s Intro and About the Wireshark Environment video to get a basic idea of how the Wireshark interface works, and a few tips on how you can configure the Wireshark GUI to meet your specific needs and preferences.
3. We will be using this and other videos to gain a familiarity with the Wireshark environment, and look at the methods and construction of network packets, so we can begin to develop “the eye” for packet formation and transmission anomalies.
